I am experiencing the same problem with an HP OfficeJet 6500. I tried to downgrading to jaunty's libsane - didn't have any effect. I then tried downgrading to jaunty's libsane, sane-utils, xsane, and xsane- commons - still no effect. When running from the command line, I see this error message:
The program 'xsane' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
